Details. Condition: BRAND NEW. Format: Hardback. ISBN: 9781849755634. Publisher: Ryland Peters & Small. Overview. The Curious Barista's Guide to Coffee is a beautifully produced hardback that turns an everyday cup of coffee into a fascinating journey through history, science and craft.
Written by award-winning bartender and barista Tristan Stephenson, it blends storytelling with genuinely practical instruction, covering everything from bean origins to home roasting, brewing methods and classic coffee-shop recipes.
It's an essential reference for home brewers, aspiring baristas and anyone who wants to understand what's really happening in their cup, and it makes a brilliant gift for the coffee lover in your life.. About the Book.
This hardback guide takes readers from coffee's origins as a wild shrub in Ethiopia through to its status as one of the world's most-loved drinks, exploring how trade, culture and taste have shaped the way we drink it today.
Stephenson explains bean varieties, growing regions and roasting techniques in accessible detail, showing how small changes in roast level and grind size transform flavour. A section demystifies the science of taste — sweetness, bitterness, acidity and aroma — helping readers understand why some cups sing and others fall flat.
The book also covers espresso and milk chemistry, showing how a Flat White differs from a Cappuccino or Macchiato, before moving to step-by-step guides for Moka pot, French press, Aeropress, siphon and other brewing methods. A collection of recipes rounds things off, from an Espresso Martini to a Pumpkin Spice Latte.
Throughout, the tone is enthusiastic and expert, reflecting Stephenson's background running celebrated bars and competing at national barista level. It rewards both casual coffee drinkers and serious home baristas, and its hardback format makes it a handsome addition to any kitchen bookshelf..
